Why hasn't the salami republic fallen yet?

🔸 Ali Khamenei, the leader of the salami republic, was killed on March 9, 1404, in a US military ground attack and trapped in Iran. Several military and security officials and commanders also died, and Mojtaba Khamenei became his father's successor.

🔸 This simultaneous blow to the political and military leadership severely wounded the command of the salami republic, but did not disable the government structure.

The government's propaganda machine created the narrative of "continuity" from the very beginning. Behind this show, the chain of decision-making and command execution was not completely severed, despite the heavy damage. There is no clear sign of a fracture in the regime or an organized collapse of the security forces. The system has been damaged, but the wound has not yet turned into a structural collapse.

🔸 If crises alone brought down governments, the salami republic would have ended long ago. At the same time, Iran is dealing with a ruined economy, a water and energy crisis, high inflation, structural corruption, weary universities, a corrupt government, and a deep gap between the government and the nation. An American war and Israeli prisoners in Iran have also been added to this collection.

Despite this, the salami republic still exists; however, it has not become more popular, more efficient, or more legitimate. Its crises remain unresolved.
